https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233498 Summary: Yast software management confused by partition sizes/mount points Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rhardy@iphouse.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I have received "Disk space exhausted" messages during software installation and during the initial installation of openSUSE 10.2, but successfully continued installation. Looking for the cause, I noticed that the yast "software management" module inappropriately reports disk space usage on my rather small root partition. It apparently thinks the root partition is where all files of a package, as well as all temporary files, will be installed. Here's a partial df of my system. Note that root is rather small and other partitions such as /usr are rather larger. /dev/hdc1 497829 133704 338423 29% / /dev/hdc2 6198436 2993836 2889728 51% /usr /dev/hdc3 2071416 943568 1022624 48% /opt /dev/hdc8 2071384 78352 1887808 4% /tmp /dev/md0 3612272 410420 3018316 12% /var /dev/md1 5368208 181316 4914196 4% /home /dev/hdc9 17599604 6988364 9717228 42% /srv Root is 29% full after installation of (to pick a large package example) the kernel sources. Before installation, it was something like 28%. Yet when the package was selected for installation, yast reported that root would be something like 90% full. As installation proceeded, df showed a gradual increase in /usr and /tmp, and much less in root. Yast, however came to the point where it thought disk space was exhausted, and gave me an option to continue, which I did, and the package was successfully installed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
